The cursed paradise. Why the rich love the bloodiest house in Moscow

In 1927, a commission was created to build the government house. Place it decided on the bank of Moskova, obliquely of the Kremlin. Later, the gray building, which at the time of the end of construction was one of the largest residential buildings in Europe, began to call home on the waterfront. The tragedy of the house – more than 800 punished for 505 apartments – can not be forgotten. But, curiously, the apartments on Serafimovich Street, 2 are in great demand. Buyers and tenants are not scared by the terrible history of the building, nor by its wear, nor by the prices – and they are rather numerous

In other relatively inexpensive (115 thousand rubles a month) apartment owners have tried to preserve the historical atmosphere: appliances and furniture are modern, but stylized in the 39; antiquity. Apartment, by the way, huge – 120 square meters, four bedrooms.

Other proposals for home rentals on the embankment – 130 thousand rubles per month. The most expensive option – a "treshka" of 150 meters (with a kitchen of 28 meters) on the tenth floor. The apartment has a home theater and a fireplace, the Kremlin towers can be seen from the windows. Price list – 280 thousand rubles per month (includes utilities and the cost of a place in a fenced parking).

Buy. But not the dust.

"Today, 62 apartments of different rooms are offered for sale at a price ranging from 18 million to 283 million rubles," says Irina Dobrokhotova, chair of the board of BEST-Novostroy . – For sale there is also "kopeck piece", however, without repair, 55 square meters for 20 million rubles. A similar price tag for the purpose of such footage and layout, including the unique views of Windows, is very attractive. Nevertheless, the object is exposed since the winter and has not yet found a new owner. The reason, most likely, is that the apartments in this house are no longer in high demand among buyers who, in a comparable budget, can find good options in new homes with better planning and infrastructure in the same area or in proximity. "

the minimum price is slightly different: 17.9 million for" odnushki "(in another ad, it is also called" kopeck piece ") on the 11th floor.The total floor area of ​​the apartment is 55 square meters.The buyer has promised access to an individual terrace of an area of ​​50 "squares."

For 18 million in the house on the seafront, you can buy a one-room apartment on the first floor. "With repair. You can come in and live. A large bathtub (3.6 meters) with a full size window. Parquet High ceilings – 3.4 meters, "- noted in the description It is important to note that the first floor of the building is located at an ordinary height, which is bad from the point of view of safety.

Six million species of "dvushka" of 68 meters more expensive on the 11th floor. "Two apartments on the site, an unusual layout, a bathroom with a window, in use a covered attic (access only from the owner, when of the installation of windows – view of the Kremlin), "reads in the announcement. The seller honestly underlines that officially (according to the documents) the attic does not belong to him and, therefore, n & # 39; 39 [is not for sale]

The minimum cost of a three-room apartment in a legendary house is 38 million rubles.The 65-meter version is located on the third floor and is qualitatively renovated. [19659002] The price record of the house on the embankment i is a large apartment with four balconies on the eighth floor. The total area is 230 square meters. The cost is equivalent to 283 million rubles. There are three bathrooms in the apartment

None of the ads has any information about nearby neighbors or at least the typical expression "quiet neighbors". In the super-prestigious house, strangely, they are very different. "For a century, the composition of residents has changed dramatically," says Marina Tolstik, managing partner of the MIEL Network of Real Estate Offices. – During the Soviet era, the political and other elite of the country settled here, but now a considerable part of the apartments are rented or sold. Therefore, the homogeneity of residents can not be said. "

The strongest neighborhood conflict took place in the house in 2010 and thundered throughout the country in 2012: through media publications, a certain Lydia Leonova, registered in an apartment the embankment belonging to the patriarch of Moscow and all Russia Kirill (in the world – Vladimir Gundyaev), tried to seize the housing of a neighbor from below.He was a former health minister, cardiac surgeon Yuri Shevchenko. discord between Leonova and Shevchenko occurred because of repairs in the apartment of the latter: according to the plaintiff's version, the construction dust was damaged by 26 million rubles. As a result, Shevchenko had to pay Leonova compensation of 20 million rubles.

"This is a shooting house."

And yet, the main disadvantage of the house is obviously not neighbors statutory and too affectionate. A house on the wharf is also called the Shooter District because many residents who received apartments in this building were later shot, "said the director of the secondary market department of INCOM-Real Estate, Sergey Shloma. . "As a result, the house has, so to speak, a negative historical connotation, and people often refuse to buy housing, having heard about the ghosts of the deceased owners."

built in the seventeenth century and was part of the rooms of the princes of Khovansky. In the nineteenth century, the house belonged to the Moscow Crafts Council, the apartments were rented here. In the Soviet years, the building housed the Military College of the Supreme Court of the USSR, headed by Vasily Ulrich – one of the main executors of Stalinist repressions. In the period from October 1, 1936 to November 30, 1938, more than 36 thousand people were sentenced in the building, the majority was sentenced to death.

As Shloma notes, the apartments in the house on the embankment, despite its unique location, are sold pretty badly. "The terms of the exhibition of apartments sold here are very important, and it is rare to realize this housing in less than two years," says the expert. – There are exceptions when the apartment for sale is of particular interest to buyers who are specifically looking for accommodation in this place with a unique, although tragic history.

The famous house of Serafimovich Street has other disadvantages: uncomfortable apartment developments, in some cases – not the most successful specific features, lack of parking, social infrastructure and necessary commercial in the region. embankment – a typical example of the former elite of Moscow once housing, which still has a high status, but no longer meets the modern criteria premium clbad, – says Marina Thick. – There is a constant risk of blockage of traffic, a huge amount of traffic, noise, the impossibility to open windows due to the [gaz] gas contamination. In addition, the yard of this house is open to pedestrians, that is to say that the isolation of speech is not going either. Children's infrastructure, greenery is far – even at the park "Museon" for a long time. "

However, the expert says, buyers and tenants pay less attention to the dark flower of the house on the embankment". "If in 1990 the buyer could refuse an apartment in this house because of feng shui, history and other things, now these aspects of attention are almost not drawn."

Julia Dymova, director of the secondary sales office real estate Is-a-Tet, warns: the gray mahin on Serafimo And in general, it seems, was luckier for those who want to sell, and do not buy an apartment here. "In our practice, there were customers who wanted to buy an object in this place, at that time, for sale was an apartment on the ground floor.It is interesting that the sellers have proved to be ordinary people whose Ancestors worked in this house as service personnel, after which the state furnished them this apartment.After its sale, the former owners were able to buy three apartments at a time in the old borders of Moscow: two apartments two-room apartment and a three-room apartment, "says Dymova

according to estimates of the INCOM., million rubles, and the average price of a secondary apartment in Moscow is 9.3 million rubles (data "HONEY") – a difference that allows for a serious enrichment.But, as shown by the experience of the first inhabitants of the house on the embankment, neither money nor status, alas, do not guarantee a long life e and happy.
